The first debate was a verbal brawl. The moderator did little to prevent the candidates from interrupting each other. With the both candidates speaking simultaneously, the viewing audience could not understand what was being said. Improving the next debate will be tough.
The Commission on Presidential Debates may adjust the rules — but it’s not clear whether the changes would help. It was apparent that Donald Trump wanted a verbal fight. He succeeded if that was his goal. Joe Biden’s reason for participating in the remaining two debates is unclear to me. Perhaps his participation is to prove that he can withstand extreme verbal abuse and walk away smiling.
